Fatally Beautiful Lyrics


She was born in the back of a thirty four Ford
And raised in a foster home
Her guardian made sexual connection with her
Before she was even grownWhen she was fifteen she fell in love
With a boy who had a fast car
But she was timid and withdrawn
So she worshiped him from afarStill he couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautifulShe ran away to the city the next year
Disowned out of jealousy
She frightened men with her figure
So they treated here like a sleazeShe lived cross the street from a piss factory
As dark as the sun is bright
The kind where you think you just went blind
When you walk in from the daylightStill they couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl

She was fatally beautifulShe was discovered by a man three times her age
Who worked for a studio
And he bought her dresses and perfume
And moved her into his homeHe got her a part in a comedy
Where she played a dumb blond whore
And she posed without clothes for a magazine
And the offers came in by the scoreIn a restaurant in Brussels she pulls back her hair
Picks up a candle and lights a cigarette
And she's recognized by a tourist
Who can't see her face but knows her silhouetteHe imagines her robe as it drops to the floor
He imagines her skin soft to touch
He imagines her naked on silk sheets
The morning she never woke upStill I couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautifulI noticed her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautiful

T-Bone Burnett (born Joseph Henry Burnett) is perhaps best known as a producer of other artists, such as Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Los Lobos, Gillian Welch, Kris Kristofferson, Cassandra Wilson, Elvis Costello, Autolux, and his ex-wife Sam Phillips. He is known for very natural-sounding productions. In his solo work, he is a respected, if quirky, singer/songwriter. He has also worked on the soundtracks of several films by the Coen Brothers (including the very successful O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, which won him a Grammy Award), as well as Cold Mountain and Walk the Line.

In the 70s, he was a member of the Alpha Band and toured as part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review.

His first album of new solo material since 1992, The True False Identity, and the career retrospective Twenty Twenty: The Esssential T-Bone Burnett were both released in May 2006.

In 1997, Burnett created new songs for the Sam Shepard play The Tooth of Crime: Second Dance, which premiered in New York City the same year in an off-Broadway production that featured Vincent D'Onofrio and Kirk Acevedo. A CD of these songs (Tooth of Crime) was released in May, 2008. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
